Whimsy Stamps release day 5 with Goldie by Wee Stamps

Hello and welcome to Day 5 of our April Rubber & Die Release Showcase!

On Wednesday (18 April) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs and new Shapeology dies. From then until 24 April the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!

Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw.
To be entered into today's mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT's posts listed below by 12.00PM EST tomorrow (that is 18.00 for Europe and 17:00 for the UK). All winners will be announced on the Whimsy blog on 25 April.

So for today's hop I created a box decorated with the gorgeous Goldie from Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet. I went to a members day for the Dutch "Kaarten maken met Tiets" club and did a demo there on "my" 3D paper piecing with stamps. I had all the little pieces colored and cut before that but I put the image together during the day yesterday. Dames, als jullie toevallig komen kijken, ik hoop dat jullie het eindresultaat mooi vinden, bedankt voor de gezelligheid!!!

The picture is a bit small but remember if you click on the pictures on my blog you'll get a larger view. The materials used were all either from the package the participants of the clubday received, part of the lovely gift Tiets gave me (dank je wel Tiets!! ik vind het prachtig!!) or things I bought at the store Simpel-Scrappen we went to after the clubday and that also sponsored the clubday. The papers are from a pad by Prima as are the flowers and the gorgeous genie stones (LOVE those). I wanted to fill the bottle with sand but didn't have that in the house so I filled it with glitter instead. Everything was distressed with Frayed Burlap distress ink and Picked fence crackle paint, I added a few touches of Star Dust stickles here and there. Here is a close up of the image:

As always colored with Copic Markers and 3D paper pieced. I love her so!! I couldn't help but pick her from the stamps that Whimsy has released this month but hadn't even thought about the bubbles. When I stamped the image it hit me.... how do I 3D paper piece the bubbles !?!?! I ended up using acetate sheets. I completely filled the back of the bubble with Olba Glue , put on the acetate bubble and added a coating of Stardust stickles on top. I love how it worked out. Here is a close up of just the bubbles.

No picture of the little pieces today I'm affraid. I completely forgot to take one when I was at the clubday. I'll just leave you with a picture of the box instead.
